College Basketball 2009-10

[Smack]

Shurna looks like a giant sized Haley Joel Osment.

[Smack]

Oh, and Purdue is in serious foul trouble right now. :D

[Jon]

It seems like it has been roughly 20 minutes since Northwestern last made a FG.

[dew1679666265]

Mississippi State looking really good against Florida right now.

[Guest]

Northwestern and Purdue have done the unthinkable: made Gus Johnson a boring librarian.

 

Never mind, Gus just came alive.

[Smack]

Osmont AND 1!

[snoodmonger]

aTm really has our number. I was hoping KU would be hitting its stride now. Instead, a sloppy win vs Tech, and we're getting pushed around by atm.

[Guest]

Jon, they really need to introduce a weight lifting room to Northwestern.

-Lots of fouls

-Awful offense

 

Purdue has 28 FT attempts to Northwestern's 18. 40 combined fouls so far.

Still young. But if they came in with bulk, other teams might actually recruit them.

[Jon]

I remember a time when Northwestern could do something on offense. I think it was January.

[Sosa21MVP]

Nice tease there Northwestern. Ugh.

[Jon]

Why.

 

Not just for that foul, for the entire game/season.

 

Northwestern will pay for a CBI bid if they get offered one. Otherwise their season is done.

[snoodmonger]

This game is getting kinda chippy. Collins maybe with a little more trash talk than I like to see, especially in a close game. No need to give this guys extra juice.

 

Edit: Turgeon has no business trying to mix it up, though.

That foul was terrible. Too bad.

[woodchip2153]

Is anyone else watching the Maryland/Georgia Tech game? The officiating has been absolutely terrible. Georgia Tech shot an air ball as the shot clock was expiring, and another GT guy followed it for a dunk, clearly after the shot clock expired. The refs counted it, and refused to review it.

Bryan Davis had a lot to do with the chippiness. I love his hustle, but he causes a lot of problems. It started when he threw a little shoulder into Collins as he was walking to the FT line. I saw a thread on a KU board with a lot of people ripping Turgeon and I was quite surprised. I thought he was well liked there. I know I sure like him and hope he sticks around Aggieland for a long time. KU is a great team and we have showed twice now that we can hang with them. Unfortunately we haven't been able to finish either game. I like our team and think we deserve a 5 seed and should make a legitimate run at the Sweet Sixteen.

I think a lot of KU fans think he's kinda whiny. They probably wouldn't mind him as much if he

 

A: hadn't made a big deal about KU not playing WSU when he coached there.

B: Didn't seem to constantly whine as aTm's coach.

 

I think in the end, people still like him because he's a Jayhawk, and if Self left, I think a lot of people would list him as their #1 choice to replace him.

 

ETA: Turg is the kind of guy who you love if he's on your side, but he's real easy to dislike if he's not. Very animated, a straight shooter, very fiery. It comes off bad sometimes.

Purdue fans what do you know about Paul Lusk? I've heard he's been one of the keys to your recruiting and he has the title of associate head coach for the last couple years so he must be able to coach a bit. He started his career at Iowa and he has some supporters who want him considered for the job.

[Andy]

Da'Sean Butler is going to drop 40. Everything he tosses up is going in.

Not going to lie and act like I know a whole bunch about his coaching ability. What I do know is he has done everything you can to get a shot as a head coach. I don't think he can jump right in and take over a Big Ten program. Probably needs to go to a smaller school first to prove he can be a head coach as that is how it works. What he is though is a top assistant under Painter and has been very successful in that role for two winning programs. He is also a former player who from what I have read excelled despite limited athletic ability. I don't think he ever made an NBA squad but I remember reading something about him getting a tryout with an NBA team and playing some non-NBA pro ball.

[chuckywang]

Westbrook, you little turd.

[chuckywang]

I have no idea why Michigan State chose to foul down 3 with 53 seconds left.

[Andy]

Tory, that was a horrid decision. Horrid. Good effort, but unfortunately it's probably gonna put us in the 8/9 game.

The dream ended today. UCD trailed UC Santa Barbara by 20 at the half and got within five on five different occasions but couldn't get any closer.

 

Oh well, didn't really expect them to win and they weren't going to beat Long Beach in the final anyway.

 

On a related note, Long Beach-Santa Barbara should be a really entertaining game tomorrow on ESPN2.
